QUOTE (samir0189 @ Sep 16, 2010 - 10:12 AM)  those tails look great, but i have always wondered, do cops bother about the car not having the rear sidemarker anymore?? jdm tails really update the look of our cars, but i am always fearful about that because the police here will find any reason to pull people over. Most people end up even taking the amber out of the JDM tails. -------------------- 2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 1

I'm gonna try to do it this afternoon. Since there's no outlets in the parking garage, I parked it up top so the sun will help out. First I'm going the degunk the area where TOYOTA was, it's already off. Then if it doesn't turn out bad, I'll use floss to pop the CELICA off and get the stuff out. I'll keep the Toyota symbol in the middle till I get around to painting the whole car. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Well I went to get the gunk off and low and behold, the Goo-Gone worked! Unfortunately, the glue was so old and fused to the hatch lid, it took some of the clear coat off with it
 Here's the damage  That's why I did it one at a time just in case something like this happened. So I'll save the de-badging for when I paint her... midnight blue

That's no fun, I'm going to debadge all but the Toyota logo in a week or so. Hopefully it doesn't take the clear with it. I like your paint choice though, gonna look goooood.

I've really been considering debadging my Celica as well, Just the toyota and celica logos.
But I really don' want this to happen 'cause I don't plan to repaint any time soon haha. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

The TOYOTA peeling off the clear coat turned me off to remove the CELICA until I actually plan to paint it. So they stay until I get my midnight blue! -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Color and projector highs/lows are the last things I'm gonna do, so it'll be a while  But the best things come with wait!! First I want to get better looking wheels, coilovers, definitely SSIII rears, not sure about the fronts... I dunno if I like my Euro splitters more, and TRD skirts.
